The bill would create an eight-member commission to study whether a National Museum of Italian American History and Culture could be established in Washington, D.C., or nearby. The commission would report on possible collections, locations, governance, costs, and effects on existing museums. It would also develop a fundraising plan and seek an independent review of whether donations could cover the museum’s construction, operation, and upkeep without federal funding.
The bill would create a study commission, not establish the museum itself. It does not describe direct services or benefits for individuals.
Commission members would serve without pay but could receive travel expenses. The commission would rely on contributions for its expenses, and no federal funds could be used to carry out the act. The commission would study the museum’s potential costs and fundraising needs.
